Item #: SCP-X

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures:

Description: SCP-X is a female Caucasian teenager between 17 and 19 years of age, 160.8 centimeters tall, named Tiffany. SCP-X is capable of turning other people into physical copies of herself. This effect is referred to as SCP-X-1, or "the Virus". People that have been infected with SCP-X-1 are referred to collectively as SCP-X-2, or "the Infected." Instances of SCP-X-2 are also capable of spreading SCP-X-1 through skin contact.

SCP-X has shown a strong fear of the Infected. She is friendly with Foundation personnel, and expresses gratitude for separating her from them and giving her a place to live. The Infected are verbally hostile towards Foundation personnel, but can be made to cooperate if given pictures of SCP-X, pink markers, or a chance to communicate with SCP-X. They are obsessed with SCP-X and try to protect her at all costs.

After the victim makes skin contact with a carrier of SCP-X-1, nothing happens right away. Changes seem to take effect overnight, while the victim is asleep.

Night 1: No outward changes, but the victim starts to think about SCP-X.

Night 2: The victim will begin to speak more like SCP-X.

Night 3: The victim actively seeks out SCP-X and becomes protective of her.

Night 4: If the victim is female, conversion is complete. If the victim is male, then the body becomes almost indistinguishable from a female body. Male genitals are still intact.

Night 5: The genitals transform from male to female. If possible, at least one instance of SCP-X-2 will watch over the victim while he is asleep to make sure that he is not woken up. If he is, the process causes intense pain.

████ was a small town in ████ that had been completely wiped out by the Virus. Field Agent ████ discovered the town and called in reinforcements to secure it. All of the Infected were contained and the entire town was burned to the ground. Locals were told that the fire was set by an arsonist and that there were no survivors. By interrogating the infected and deploying agents, the Foundation was able to track down and secure SCP-X and a small team of Infected that were following her.

Document #X-1:
THE CULT OF THE INFECTED
The Infected formed a cult around SCP-X when they were at the town. It is unknown whether this is a part of SCP-X's anomalous effect or just a natural reaction. Individual members are described as having "faint traces" of their previous personalities. They do not remember their past lives accurately. Members of the cult obey senior members first and the law second. The chain of command is decided by seniority; the first person infected by Tiffany is the leader (highest rank) and the last person is an acolyte (lowest rank.) The cult has only one goal; The protection of SCP-X.

They want to protect her, but they do not do what she tells them to do. SCP-X wanted them to let her leave the town, but they wouldn't. SCP-X also wanted them to spare Ryan, but they didn't because they saw him as a threat to her. In other words, her safety is more important to the cult than what she wants.

The moral beliefs of the cult members are completely different from that of regular society. They now see SCP-X as God. Anything that is a threat to SCP-X is morally bad, anything that protects SCP-X is morally good. This is their only standard for measuring the morality of anything.
